In what order do you enter giveaways?
The first page of SG-> wishlist -> recommended -> group -> discussion
Most of the time I use less than 10 points after the above progress.

I rarely find any good giveaways to enter. so I'm never running out of points. ;_;

First - group giveaways and than GAs with not a lot of people and higher level (10-200 people and 3-5 lvl). After that - giveaways with 1k-15k entries, these giveaways i use to store my points for further use, I just quit them when I see something with realistic chances to win.

Soon ending public GAs -> wishlist -> group -> invite -> high interest/regional/multi-copy public.
When I run out of points (happening rarely nowadays), I remove points from the longest running GAs and bookmark them (if invite only) for later re-entering.
Thanks for the puzzles and the GAs! :-)

Not everyone has "games they really desire" on wishlist. Some people just put most games they seem not-shitty there.
So you should have elaborate a bit ^.^
I have about 200 positions in Wishlist and usually there are less than 30 GAs for those games, and I don't run of points. But there are other games that are less interesting or known to me, which looks like fun, but not as much as wishlisted games ;)
You however are close to 900 (including F2P titles, some DLC, tons of pricey VN games...).
So it's hard for me to determine how many giveaways you attend to.
PS: I visited your profile and got sticker pack xD

Everything in my wishlist is stuff i have interest in playing >.>
If i spot a game in a bundle or in the Upcoming releases in steam i just add it to my wishlist .
I dont think i browsed the public GA page in over a year.
So yeah , by saying i just enter for stuff in my wishlist , thats what i mean :)

I'm a woman of systems, apparently. :(

Why the sad face? For me, that's quite interesting system.
I don't really use "Recommended" part, as I prefer to use "All" and hide games that seems bad or not interesting ;)
In fact, point 3 reminded of me thinking "maybe I should enter GAs for all those HOG games, they appear a lot... if I win that, I'll get rid of entering it in future". Haha xD

Heh, well, it's not that I'm really sad about it or anything, it's just that it's the way I've used SteamGifts for a very long time, maybe even as long as I've used the site, but I've never really thought about or formalized it. It's obviously affected the ways in which I browse the site, it's likely even affected the userscript I wrote to add certain features to the site, but I've never really realized just how much influence its had on my use of the site, nor how strictly delimited each of the steps had become from the general guidelines I followed just based on my natural inclination.

Hello.
I was curious about this matter for some time. I tried searching similar thread with no results. So, how do you enter giveaways?
Edit: Please, mention if you do run out of points. (And optionally at what point).
I have to mention, that I hide games that doesn't seem fun at all, looks terrible, are "blacklisted" genre for me, etc. So I only try to have giveaways for games I'd gladly try out and play.
Here's how I do (and I always run out of points):
Variant 1 - Complex
First I enter all wishlist games.
Then I search for discussions-hidden GAs or puzzles.
Next, I browse all public GAs, to search for Poland region only or smaller group exclusives..
Then, I enter GAs from highest level I can reach, but only those GAs that end in 8 or 24 hours (depends how busy I might be).
Logic behind this is, that if I won't be able to access internet, I will still have chance and games I really desire or found interesting enough.
Variant 2 - Simple
I only enter giveaways that will soon expire (less than 24 hours). Prioritizing higher levels first.
Logic behind this is trying to get as many giveaway entries as possible, to increase chances of winning.
Train is hidden behind simple puzzle and Jigidi (don't worry, it's below 100 pieces, I dislike having more to complete).
Road to Train Station
Train starts now with level 2+ and it ends 12 July, 15h CEST.
Train cargo:
(from 10 copies => 1 is whitelist & group exclusive [L1+], 1 limited to Turkey [L1+] [because it's Turkish game], 8 limited only by levels - splitted into 2 for Level 3+, 2 for Level 4+, 2 for Level 5+, 2 for Level 6+)
Take care.
